HORIZON, 2020-21

A harsh surgical light shining above me
Not the saving halo of the almighty

But rather an invitation

To be welcomed to the world
of those that are lost

My entire body, free of feeling
As my soul prepares to board a new life

A pensive moment, yet still fleeting

Blurred faces look at me from above

“We've almost lost him” they say

As my chest empties out

A breath which seems longer than time itself I

turn to the window and look

And i smile, as I realise

I am no longer in this cage

Made of raucous thunder

As I bring my last rain a new season
